SBA 215 Project Week 7 solution

Using the ROI data set:

For each of the two majors:

Draw the scatter diagram of Y = ‘Annual % ROI’ against X = ‘Cost’.

The obtained two diagrams are given below,

Obtain b0 and b1 of the regression equation defined as y ̂ = b0 + b1X and the coefficient of determination (r2) from the Excel regression output.  

For Business Major, the obtained output is given below.

SUMMARY OUTPUT            
             
         
Multiple R 0.9701          
R Square 0.9410          
Adjusted R Square 0.9377          
Standard Error 0.0027          
Observations 20          
             
ANOVA            
  df SS MS F Significance F  
Regression 1 0.0022 0.0022 287.2207 0.0000  
Residual 18 0.0001 0.0000      
Total 19 0.0023        
             
  Coefficients Standard Error t Stat P-value Lower 95% Upper 95%
Intercept 0.1180 0.0024 48.5862 0.0000 0.1129 0.1231
Cost -2.11204E-07 1.24622E-08 -16.94758619 1.64456E-12 -2.37386E-07 -1.85022E-07

From the above output we can see that b0 = 0.1180 and b1= -2.11204E-07 thus the regression equation is,

Y = 0.1180-2.11204E-07*X

For Engineering Major, the obtained output is given below.

SUMMARY OUTPUT            
             
         
Multiple R 0.9754          
R Square 0.9515          
Adjusted R Square 0.9488          
Standard Error 0.0033

Regression 1 0.0039 0.0039 352.8738 0.0000

Intercept 0.1268 0.0020 62.7372 0.0000 0.1225 0.1310

From the above output we can see that b0 = 0.1268 and b1= -2.1455E-07 thus the regression equation is,

Y = 0.1268-2.1455E-07*X

Draw the fitted regression line on the scatter diagram.

The plots are given below,

Calculate the estimated ‘Annual % ROI’ when the ‘Cost’ (X) is $160,000.

The estimated ‘Annual % ROI’ when the ‘Cost’ (X) is $160,000 is,

For Business Major = 8.42% and for Engineering Major = 9.25%

Test the hypothesis: 

H0: β1 = 0

Ha: β1 ≠ 0

From the above output, the p-values for both the Business Major and Engineering Major are very small indicating that the above null hypothesis is rejected.

Write a paragraph or more on any observations you make about the regression estimates, coefficient of determination, the plots, and the results of your hypothesis tests.

In working this out, both the regression model are significant at 5% significance level (the F test has small p-value). The coefficient of determination indicated that the models are good fit to the data. Thus the above models can be used to predict the dependent variable Annual ROI from the independent variable cost.
